Re: Art thread

Bringin' it back. These 4 pieces are from the series I just completed with my friend and fellow printmaker Shara DeWitt. They're for the exhibition on Saturday, but you guys get to see them now. All are currently untitled. We're working on that. each piece is 12 x 24 on a wood panel. Ink transfer and ink. They also have really nice, hand-sanded rounded corners, but that doesn't translate very well in the pics so I trimmed them.

Re: Art thread

Nice stuff! If you ever wanna work a trade for art hit me up...actually that offer goes for just about anyone on here. We used to do that over on www.stencilrevolution.com (trade pieces of art). Like we'd each take a vinyl record that we got at a thrift store and we'd paint it and mail them to each other. I ended up with some nice work in my collection that way. anyone that's down, lemme know.

Re: Art thread

Ewiggy, I like those. The transformation of the geometric lines of technology into the organic forms of a tendril of plant matter is a nice contrast. (Or is it perhaps more sinister than a plant? A bloody artery blown-up to monstrous proportions?) And the use of wood is interesting as it underlines this organic/technological divide.

They almost are going to a place similar to Kiki Smith, but replacing the delicacy of her work with a graphic intensity.

I call this one "Keebler Dreams."

I kinda like the tape one but it also looks like the tape is broken and brings back bad memories.

Also Photoshop tennis rules pretty hard.

thanks john. the phone is the same as in my avatar. i like it. it's a nice phone. also, all of my friends are laughing at me about the "photoshop tennis" thing. i've gotten at least 2 emails from people that just said "hahahahaha". but whatever. it does rule. and that was the original idea behind these pieces, it just kind of evolved past that a little bit.

Re: Art thread

Hahaha...from what I've seen in Downtown Long Beach, I'm guessing more of the guys appreciated it than the ladies...lol. I have a friend that lives down there and it's pretty flamey there...lol...nothin wrong with that, but i gotta say the first time I went there I was a bit surprised....my only experience with Long beach prior to that came from Snoop Dogg songs!

Re: Art thread

yeah, seriously... my sister moved there a few years ago and asked me to come up. i was a bit apprehensive, but once i got up there i saw that it was nothing as i had pictured it. plus, there was only one murder that night, which i was assured was a pretty dull Saturday...

Re: Art thread

LoL...yeah...my friends that live up there came about 10 seconds from witnessing the shooting of two police officers...they drove up IMMEDIATELY after it happened...like the one cop that was still moving hadn't even radioed for help yet...CRAZy stuff...yet at the same time the streets are so clean there...not like MY hood...lol

Re: Art thread

My latest stencil work...

Tribute to J Dilla (RIP) on a vinyl record. 3 stencils used to make it. Copper spraypaint (design - stencil 1) on green background. Tan to brown fade (background of Dilla & scroll - stencil 2). Matte black (detail Dilla & scroll - stencil 3). I made two of these...this one is on my wall in my living room, and I MIGHT sell the other one on E-bay or something.

I'll also be bringing some T-shirts of my design to Coachella with me. Might trade them for beer, hook them up to true Dilla fans, or give them to celebs I meet.
